We are pleased to share a statement from the Bishop of Portsmouth:

‘Following Ven. Peter Leonard’s resignation as Team Rector of Newport, Carisbrooke and Gatcombe it has been agreed that Rev Hannah Barraclough, Assistant Curate, will move to continue her training in our Cathedral Church of St Thomas.

Hannah’s final day in the Benefice of Newport Minster, St John, and Carisbrooke and Gatcombe will be Sunday 3rd April.

Please do keep Hannah in your prayers.’
